Pan Galactic Age

Chapter 21 Arrival
"Grandpa, you can go and make a movie..."

The four declined the invitation for board and lodging offered by each other, and returned to the "Yinlong". Xiao Cheng couldn't help admiring.

"It can't be done otherwise." The old man coughed lightly, "This servant of the gods is very powerful. I have been in the army for more than 100 years, and I can see that he is the same, but..."

The old man sat on the chair in the bridge room and thought for a while, and everyone gathered around the old man.

"The costumes of God's servants are generally symbolized by white robes with light gold trim, and the golden Ellen Empire emblem embroidered on both sides of the chest, which is easy to identify. This Casares is wearing a black robe with gold trim, and except for the chest. An unfamiliar badge without any extra decorations, but actually wearing a 'Ring of Discipline' that only a servant of the gods can wear on his finger really makes me feel a little puzzled."

"My old man has no choice but to put on a show to let him relax his vigilance against us~"

"According to rumors, the Ellen Empire has a special army that specializes in some shady activities, but the official has never acknowledged the existence of this army, but a lot of evidence indicates that this army is controlled by some special servants of God , I suspect that this Casares is one of them." Brother Wu always spoke surprisingly.

He then scanned and searched for a surreptitiously intercepted image of Casares' chest badge, but found nothing.But this just proves that Casares is indeed a member of the secret organization of the Ellen Empire.

The air in the bridge stagnates. They came from a long way from Juyu, and there is really no support here. The only thing they can rely on is the invisible function of "Yinlong".

"It doesn't matter, if something is wrong, just go invisible after entering the wormhole." The old man eased the atmosphere with a smile, "This starship has passed various tests and is very reliable."

"Now that we have a star map, we can leave alone!" Old Han said gruffly.

"Old Han, this is unrealistic. Since the other party dares to be so frank, they are completely sure that we can't leave here at will." Xiao Cheng shook his head and replied, "Listen to Grandpa, follow them in and have a look , in the wormhole space, all kinds of scanning equipment will be greatly disturbed, and after being invisible, they can't find us at all."

"Hmph, he's an old mother..." Lao Han muttered, and stopped talking.

"Well, when you went to see the servant of God just now, I have carefully investigated these seven expeditions." Nan Xin took the conversation, unfolded the light screen and said, "They all have one characteristic, that is, they all agree with each other." Like us, we have shown interest in the exploration of the B4-105M3 star system. I think this servant of God is looking for people like us, no matter what the purpose is, it seems that he still needs our help for the time being."

"If that's the case... then we'll be able to adjust accordingly." The bald dragon clapped his hands and said.

Everyone reached a consensus, and the atmosphere relaxed again.

……

three days later.

Qingzhou star field, candle dragon constellation, B4-105M3 galaxy, third planet, fifth satellite, star gate, testing room.

Wang Ping has been working at this stargate for 40 years. During these long years, he just witnessed the process of the B4-105M3 galaxy shipping from prosperity to decline. In the past, this stargate was used as an important international route. Connecting the economic lifeline between the two superpowers Huaguo and Ellen Empire, the endless stream of starships rushes past here, full of people's hope and wealth, although because of the existence of supergiant stars and no habitable planets For other reasons, there is no space station built here, but dozens of large and small outer space buildings are anchored near the last planet, including hotels, bars, supply stations, police stations... The facilities are very sound and complete—and Now, those buildings are completely deserted, and all the people have left, probably only those intelligent robots are still tirelessly maintaining the lowest level of space buildings.

It seemed that there were no starships coming again today. Wang Ping leaned back in his chair, yawned, and tapped lightly on the console with his right index finger boredly.

How lively it was more than 40 years ago. Every time at this time, he would lament that working in this star gate used to be the dream of many people. When there are too many starship requests to pass through the stargate, they need to queue up. For businessmen, time is money, they are willing to pay some "stargate sponsorship fees" to get the privilege of passing through the stargate in front, and the starship The maintenance cost of the gate is very small, and the remaining money is distributed to the staff of the star gate as welfare.So, at that time, how many people squeezed their heads to come to the stargate on this line to work. Although the B4-105M3 galaxy was just a barren galaxy, it was in a special position at that time, and it was separated from several nearby star systems. 30 light-years, almost touched the limit of the distance that the stargate can transmit, and after ordinary starships pass through such a long-distance stargate, it will often have a certain degree of impact on human physiology, and it is necessary to rest before proceeding to the stargate. jump.

Therefore, the anchored hotels, bars, and supply stations in the B4-105M3 galaxy are overcrowded almost all the time, and the business is excellent. Even the plan to build a space station here was once put on the agenda by a large group, but The "Holy Light" war launched by the Ellen Empire changed everything overnight. The largest trading partner of the Ellen Empire was the Kingdom of Hua. Blocked by the hostile forces of the Saifi Democratic Republic, they can only detour almost three times the distance to conduct business with the Hua Kingdom, but the business groups of the Hua Kingdom can export goods to the Ellen Empire through the Saifi Democratic Republic. , the unequal conditions among them have caused the Eren Empire to suffer huge losses for a long time, and the Syfi Democratic Republic was once one of the top ten powers in the world. Let the Ellen Empire not dare to act rashly.

In 6581 of the origin calendar, that is, more than 100 years ago, the 7th Fleet of the Democratic Republic, the most powerful military force of the Democratic Republic of Saifi, was admiral of the 3rd Fleet of the Democratic Republic, and the 8th Fleet suddenly declared independence, and got the secret support of the Ellen Empire. As a result, the Saifi Democratic Republic fell into a civil war. After decades of war, the Saifi Democratic Republic barely quelled the rebellion, but the country as a whole was fatally hit, and its strength has been in a slump. The border fleet of the Saifi Democratic Republic "accidentally" attacked a border guard post on the border of the Ellen Empire. The 6637 frigates stationed inside killed 3 and ten "heroic" imperial soldiers. Provocative, resolutely launched a retaliatory war called "Holy Light". With little effort, the powerful imperial fleet destroyed all the resistance of the Saifi Democratic Republic. After emergency mediation by the Interstellar Cooperation Alliance, Saifi At the cost of a star field, the Democratic Republic calmed down the "anger" of the Ellen Empire in exchange for the Ellen Empire's retreat.And the ceded star field "coincidentally" is where the shortest trade path between the Ellen Empire and the Hua Kingdom is located. The intention of the Ellen Empire to send troops is self-evident.

But because of this, the old waterway was also abandoned, and the prosperity of the B4-105M3 galaxy was gone forever.

The "God's Punishment Class" cruiser suddenly jumped out of space, and a few seconds later, eight frigates appeared almost simultaneously.

A series of starship transition beacon announcements made Wang Ping wake up from his daze. He sat up straight in disbelief, carefully identified the models of the nine starships, and found that there was actually a modified civilian starship of the cruiser level. , and eight explorer frigates, Wang Ping suddenly thought of a mysterious order sent by his superiors half a year ago, if there is any abnormal starship activity in the B4-105M3 galaxy, it needs to be reported immediately.His fingers flicked across the console, and a message was sent by him.He exhaled lightly. How many years have you been so serious?Wang Ping chuckled, but no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with him, only a trace of curiosity remained.

"This is the frigate 'Datong'. Damn it, all 13 of our crew have reacted to deep space and need to take a break!" Captain Zhang Tong felt helpless.
